FAU counting on replacement receivers to fill void on offense

Florida Atlantic’s football team hopes play-making receivers come in all shapes and sizes. In the bulky D’Anfernee McGriff or the lanky Tavaris “Pico” Harrison, the diminutive Willie Wright or the chiseled DeAndre McNeal, the Owls are counting on someone stepping up.

The FAU receiving corps took a hit in the offseason with the losses of Kalib Woods and Kamrin Solomon. Woods was charged with two counts of felony battery in June and suspended indefinitely by the program. Solomon was also removed from the roster, but has not been arrested.

Both were projected starters for the Owls under new coach Lane Kiffin, but are doubtful to figure into FAU’s plans this season.
